Description

DESIGN CONCEPT

When people only enjoy pleasure all the time, it would lead to boredom and aversion to pleasure. People will, in turn, be lacking in motivations to achieve goals when they are indulged in pleasure.

'Suffering in Pleasure' ironically demonstrates the modern hedonist idea of enjoying pleasure at a shallow level which actually is suffering from the torture of pleasure.

Inspired by Hedonism, a philosophy that regards pleasure and happiness as the most vital intrinsic goods, maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain, this collection illustrates the negative effects of modern hedonistic lifestyle with the concept of excessive pleasure enjoyment and evading of pain leading to sufferance.
